"Think Inside the Box"

EXTREMITIES
A powerful drama by William Mastrosimone
August 21st - September 12th
“A white knuckle psychological thriller” – USA Today

The story examines what happens when a woman, Marjorie, tries to take back control of her own life in one of the most terrifying situations imaginable. Marjorie is attacked in her home by a would-be rapist and turns the tables on him, tying him up in her fireplace. She discovers that he has been stalking her and watching the house. Her roommates come home to discover him tied with cords, belts, and other household items.

Directed by Chelsea Dyan Fry

Tickets can be purchased at the JCC or by calling (210) 302-6835.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS
A poetic fable by Mary Zimmerman
October 21st - November 13th
“A celebration of the power of storytelling” – New York Times

King Shahryar marries, loves, then kills, a young woman each night- until he encounters Scheherazade. To save her life, she entertains the King with tales of love, lust, hilarity, and sorrow for a thousand and one nights. Her ancient tales magically transform the stage from a king's bedroom in Baghdad through markets, harems, courts, and a crowded privy, and from heights of hilarity to sobering affirmations of shared humanity.

Tickets on sale beginning Tuesday, September 21.

UNNECESSARY FARCE
A ridiculously funny comedy by Paul Slade Smith
February 3rd - February 27th
“A smash hit! Two hours of non-stop laughter.” – CBS

Two cops. Three cooks. Eight doors. Go. A sting operation has been set up in adjoining rooms at a cheap motel to catch the perpetrators of an embezzlement scheme. Two inexperienced officers set out to catch the criminal and get caught, themselves, in a whirlwind of hilarity. Slamming doors, sexual innuendos, and a Scottish hit man, complete with kilt and bagpipes, add to the Marx Brothers-esque mix-ups and mayhem.

Directed by Matthew Byron Cassi

Tickets on sale beginning Monday, January 3.

ASSASSINS
A controversial musical by Sondheim and Weidman
May 5th - June 5th
“difficult and provocative… a breakthrough musical” – New York Times

Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking, and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most contentious musical ever written. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, this dark musical bends the rules of time and lays bare a roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact, and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.

Tickets on sale beginning Tuesday, April 5.
